100,000 tombs

Judging from the market at that time, this kind of small foot embroidered shoes in the Ming Dynasty, including the early Qing Dynasty, was a good thing in the eyes of many folk lovers and players who were engaged in collecting, and although there were many well-preserved ones on the market, almost all of them were in the late Qing Dynasty of the Republic of China.

I asked Li Chunlai if he could get another one, this one seems a bit single, the antique shop is about a complete, the more complete the set of things, the more valuable it is, sometimes one or two pieces are inconspicuous, if you can make up a complete set, the price can be folded and go up.

Li Chunlai's face was embarrassed, and the other embroidered shoe had long since disappeared, so this one was still tucked and hidden before it was brought to Beijing.

I said: "That's it, what about me, I have a real deal with you, I have a special impression of the peasant brothers, my father was for the liberation of the Chinese peasants, he resolutely gave up his studies and devoted himself to the revolutionary cause, he has done revolutionary work all his life, cough cough, let's not mention him, even the Chinese revolution is to take the line of the countryside to surround the city, only to achieve the final victory, so I can pat my chest and say, I will never see that you are from the countryside and you will be blinded, this shoe is sold well in the market, it can be sold for six or seven hundred, and it is not easy to do more." , brother, if you want, I will accept these shoes for 600, even if we make friends, if you have any good things in the future, just take me here, how about it? ”

Li Chunlai was surprised and said, "What? Six hundred? That's right. ”

I said, "What? Too little? Add another fifty to you. ”

Li Chunlai shook his hand again and again: "A lot, a lot, I thought it would be worth three hundred at most." ”

I paid him six hundred and five at that time, Li Chunlai counted the money more than ten times, and hid it tightly, I told him to be careful, after drinking so much wine, don't accidentally lose the money again.

Then I talked to Li Chunlai about a lot of things about their hometown, Li Chunlai's hometown is in Ganyuangou, north of the Yellow River in Shaanxi Province, which is the poorest county in that area, and there is a Longxiang County near them, which is mountainous and mountainous, and it is said that it was a state burial area in the past, and there are so many ancient tombs that I can't count them.

To what extent are there many ancient tombs in Longxiang County? In an acre of land, there are six or seven tombs, which are all on the surface, and there are many more in the depths.

Pastel products of the Tang Dynasty dug out from the inside, one can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan, many local farmers have a few pieces, that is, they made a fortune by digging out the things from the fields, from the Republic of China, there are many cultural relics dealers have gone to buy, and the decent ones have been collected almost.

After the Yellow River to the south is the Qinling Mountains, I heard that there are more big tombs over there, but it is not easy to find, the easy to find are all gone, there is one of the most famous Han tombs, the tomb on the robbery hole alone makes people play more than 280 people, these robbery holes from ancient times to the present have.

There are also a lot of valuable good things flowing out there, but Li Chunlai can't say what they are, and he only heard about these things.

Seeing that it was not early, and Li Chunlai's strength had passed, he got up to say goodbye, and before leaving, he told me that I must go to his house as a guest when I have the opportunity in the future, and I was polite to him for a long time, and then I sent him away.

Back at the antique market, the fat man and the big gold tooth were already waiting impatiently, and when they saw me coming back, they hurriedly asked what good things they had received?

I showed them the embroidered shoes, and the fat man scolded: "This old man is like holding a dog's head gold, and he has been making trouble for a long time, so he brought such shoes?" ”

The big gold tooth said: "Hey, how particular are these shoes, how much silver does Master Hu receive?" ”

I told the price, and the big gold tooth even claimed: "Hu Ye's eyesight is really good during this time, and there is no problem at all with this embroidered shoe selling for 2,000 yuan." ”

I regretted it: "How do you say this, if you know that you can sell so much, I will give that brother some more money, I thought it was worth six or seven hundred yuan, but I still looked away." ”

The big gold tooth said: "It's Monday, Monday is scarce, I think we don't have to spend it with this, I haven't eaten mutton shabu for a long time, what's the matter with me, let's clean up and run to Dongsi." ”

The fat man said: "Great minds always coincide, I happened to be hungry for this in the past two days, why don't you get tired of eating?" ”

It was still the restaurant in Dongsi that I used to go to, just four o'clock in the afternoon, there were still no half diners, we sat at the window table in the corner, the waiter ordered the pot, put the things in place, and the dishes came up, and then they all went back to the counter to gather together in the mountains.

I took out a cigarette and lit it for the big gold tooth and the fat man, and asked the big gold tooth: "Master Jin, tell our brothers and sons, where is the value of these shoes?" ”

The big gold tooth took the embroidered shoes and said: "This shoe is not an ordinary person, do you see it, this is a peony flower, since the Tang Dynasty, the world is precious to peony, although the general ordinary people also have embroidered peonies on the shoes, but it is certainly not like this, inlaid with gold thread, in addition, you see, this flower core is also embedded with six small beads, although not too precious, but the overall artistic value has gone up, the most important thing is the owner of this shoe, the old brother is from Shaanxi, Shaanxi folk customs are simple, since ancient times the folk are not yet the custom of binding feet, I estimate that the owner of this shoe, it is very likely that the family of officials transferred from other provinces, or the noble lady who married a wealthy family, in short, it is not rich or expensive, so this shoe is very collectible, I said two thousand in the market, I did not dare to make a noise, according to my opinion, it is worth at least six thousand, if there is a pair, the price can be doubled four or five times. ”

The fat man and I stuck out our tongues, I really didn't expect it to be so valuable, I made up my mind in my heart, I must go to Shaanxi when I go back, and then make up some money for Li Chunlai, otherwise he will suffer too much.

While eating and talking, inadvertently, the topic went to the ancient tombs in Shaanxi.

The big golden tooth said: "Although I have not been to Shaanxi in person, but I have heard some colleagues who have gone there to collect things, eight hundred miles of Qinchuan civil and military land, the land of Sanqin is deep in water and soil, and the good things buried in the ground are countless, only in Longxiang County, there are nearly 100,000 ancient tombs, in some places, an ancient tomb under the soil presses an ancient tomb, the cultural layer is as many as several layers, and there are many tombs in the area of Daba Mountain in the Qinling Mountains. I thought, I have to go there when I have the opportunity, collect some good things, even if I can't collect them, it's good to open my eyes, but my health is not very good, and I haven't had a chance to go. ”

I said, "I was thinking about when I had time to go, or let's go play together, and by the way, collect some things, you go with the two of us, and we can take care of us along the way." ”

The three of them hit it off, and then discussed when to set off, I have heard that there are many dragon veins in the Qinling Mountains, and I want to go to the field to investigate, it is best to find a big bucket to fall, and it is good to repay the usury of the American Nizi, and the life of the debt is really uncomfortable.

But there is no clear goal, just prepare to go over there and take a look, so I don't plan to bring any equipment, just bring a few things such as a sapper shovel, a wolf's eye flashlight, a simple gas mask, etc., which is enough, and bring more cash, hoping to collect a few treasures back.

The big gold tooth said: "The things dug up over there are all underground transactions, and a certain procedure has been formed, and it is difficult for outsiders to interfere, if we want to collect valuable things, we have to go to the most remote places, and if we don't, we will be able to make a lot of money." ”

The fat man suddenly remembered something and said to us, "Why don't we bring more black donkey hooves, I heard that there are the most zombies over there." ”

I said, "It's okay to wear a few with you, be prepared, but let's not go over there to fight, the main thing is to go out and have fun, collect some things and come back, don't worry about encountering big zongzi." ”

The big golden tooth said: "Master Hu, you are a great expert in feng shui, you said that there are many black and white fierce there, how to explain this phenomenon from the perspective of feng shui?" ”

I said: "Fierce can also be said to refer to zombies, black and white refer to different corpses, since ancient times there is a place to raise corpses, but I don't understand those, since we talked about this, I will talk about it from the perspective of feng shui." ”
